Chapter Seven:
Keith made his way back to the break room to see all five princes getting up. Joshua begins organizing some pages of paper on the table. What Keith noticed is that Reya is nowhere to be seen. " Prince Wilfred..." The prince calls to the blonde man.
Wilfred knows what Keith was about to ask him and points over to the balcony. " We told Miss Williams that we we were discussing private matters about our kingdoms..." The blonde prince explains. " She apologized and told us to call to her once we have finished." Keith nods his head, understanding Wilfred's reason.
" Don't worry, Keithster!" Roberto exclaims happily. " Josh took it upon himself to write up notes for you so you wouldn't be out of the loop." Joshua takes the small pile of papers from the table and hands them over to Keith.
" Yeah whatever." Keith grumbles under his breathe as he took the handwritten notes from Joshua's grip. " Now if you don't mind, I have some matters I would like to discuss with Miss Williams in private." Both Edward and Roberto smile at Keith's command as the two begin to drag Joshua and Glenn with them out of the room.
Wilfred began to head out but is stopped by Keith himself. " Prince Wilfred..." Keith starts as the blonde turns to face him. " You didn't have to go out of your way for a commoner." Wilfred looks at Keith, waiting for the younger man to continue. " But...Thank you for doing so."
The blonde smiles softly at the usually blunt man. " No need to thank me, Prince Keith. " Wilfred calmly replies to Keith. " ...Just learn to control your jealousy better."
Keith's face turns bright red as he narrows his brows at Wilfred. " I-" The brunette stops and takes his gaze away from his older companion. "...I will try." Wilfred's blue eyes widen slightly at Keith's responce. He thought that the prince would try to deny it.
Wilfred smiles softly and pats Keith on the shoulder. "...You're a good man, Keith." Wilfred tells him and leaves the room. Keith sighs and heads towards the balcony where Wilfred said Reya was. Keith stood by the balcony enterance for a bit, going over what he wants to tell the woman in his head until he becomes satisfied with what he wishes to say.
Keith slowly walks out to the balcony and spots the commoner woman sitting on the balcony railing, looking over the view with awe in her eyes. Keith walks over with great speed and grabs Reya by her waist. Reya jumps, nearly falling off the railing if it isn't for Keith's arm keeping her from certain injury or even possible death. " Your Highness!" The young woman exclaims, glaring at the prince. " Are you trying to kill me?"
Keith laughs in slight amusement. " I should be the one yelling at you. Do you have a death wish or something?" The prince asks with a smirk on his face. Reya laughs at Keith's question and looks back at the scenery. Keith looks back at the scenery, fighting back a blush from forming on his face.
" No, Your Highness. I was just admiring the view of our amazing country." She explains to the prince as her eyes went from the scenery to Keith's arm wrapped around her waist. " Um... You can take your arm back, Your Highness." Instead of him taking his arm off the woman, Keith tightens his grip on Reya.
" I don't think I will." Keith says with an amused smug on his face. " Plus, I still have to punish you for calling me that ridiculous nickname earlier." Keith pulls Reya off the railing and places Reya back on the ground. Reya raises an eyebrow at the prince.
" Punish me for calling you 'Keithster'?" Reya questions the prince. " You're not going to arrest me or anything, are you?" Keith laughs in amusement. Reya pouts and gives the prince a playful shove. " I'm being serious, Your Highness."
Keith smiles and pats Reya on the head. " No, you're not going to get arrested." Keith tells the commoner. " I want something different." The prince takes Reya's hand and looks deep into the woman's eyes. " I want you to be my woman."
Reya looks at Keith in complete shock. The confession is rather blunt and almost kind of demanding, but the confession still managed to make Reya's heart skip a beat. " A-Are you serious, Your Highness?" The woman asks in disbelief.
" Of course I am serious, Miss Williams." Keith says while crossing his arms. " I didn't like how the other princes were looking at you. Expecially Prince Joshua. I want you to be my woman. What do you say? Remember, I don't take no for an answer. "
The woman chuckles softly and leans over to kiss Keith on the nose. The prince went wide-eyed as a blush crept across his face. " You know, I wouldn't say no." Reya tells Keith with a smile on her face. " I would like to be your girl, Your Highness." Keith grabs Reya and hugs the woman tightly against his chest. Keith won't admit it out loud, but he is happy that she said yes.
